Reading through this thread about open drug markets, cars being smashed into and homeless people smearing shit on the walls, I feel extremely grateful to live in Australia.

Even in the "bad areas" of major cities, you don't get shit like this. Worst I've seen regularly are junkies scamming on Facebook marketplace, or minor shoplifting.

There are a few cities that have explicitly declared themselves sanctuaries for this kind of lawlessness and the results are unsurprising. Most of the country is nothing like this.

What are some non-sanctuary cities which also have year round temperate, but not too hot or humid, weather?

We will take our junkies to your killer snakes, insects, arachnids any day, thanks.
